NFL teams mark twenty-five seasons of league play entering the 2026 schedule

As the NFL season begins tonight with a matchup between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks, a review of team performance across the last 25 seasons highlights varying degrees of success since 2001. The New England Patriots lead the league with 279 regular-season wins and six championships during this span. Other teams maintaining a winning percentage of at least.600 include the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Green Bay Packers, and the Philadelphia Eagles. Conversely, the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Detroit Lions, the Las Vegas Raiders, and the Cleveland Browns remain at the bottom of the rankings with winning percentages below.400. Meanwhile, the Mid-American Conference has appealed to the NCAA regarding officiating protocols following the conclusion of the Michigan game against Western Michigan. The result of that contest remains a point of contention as Michigan has dropped from the AP Top 25 poll.
